The Weblog
The local foods movement is alive and well in Champaign County! Here are some updates on other projects while we finalize our virtual market:
Local Producers Map:
Our local producers map is ready for publication and you will soon be able to find it on gochampaign.com. Copies will be distributed around the community, in the local telephone book, and other “hangouts”. The guide lists the location and contact information for nearly 50 local producers within our county. The map was a project of the Local Food Council and printed with the help of some local sponsors including the Monument Square District, Champaign Bank, the Community Improvement Corporation, the Chamber of Commerce, the Farm Bureau and others. It is a great start to finding a local source for Champaign County’s finest!
An ELM TREE ESSENTIALS kind of Holiday!
I’m so excited to actually list our soap gift sets on the virtual market this year! Last year the response to them blew us away…we were amazed at how quickly they sold…and they never made it to virtual market! We offer two different sets, each containing 5 half-size bars. Holiday Set: Peppermint, Holiday Spice, O Christmas Tree, Sweet Orange Clove, and Frankincense & Myrrh
Fabulous 5 Set: Lemongrass, Tea Tree Lavender, Peppermint, Pink Grapefruit, and Sweet Orange Clove
(As always, we use food grade, organic base oils and only essential oils for the scents…absolutely NO synthetic fragrances.)
They are a great sampler pack and make wonderful gifts for teachers, co-workers, friends, family and even yourself! Everyone needs soap! Have someone on your list who ‘has everything’ and you’re stumped as to what to get for them? These gift sets are the perfect solution!
Can’t wait to fill your orders!!!
Have a blessed week,
Laura Miller {ELM Tree Essentials}
